Company Announcement No. 9, 26 August 2026
Interim Report 1 January – 30 June 2026: Progressing with Focus2030 and Full Year 2026 Guidance maintained

Niels Frederiksen, Chief Executive Officer: “We are making solid progress with Focus2030 although we are still in the early phase of the five-year strategy period. Our core tobacco categories are stabilising with handmade cigars delivering good growth, we are expanding our nicotine pouch business and following the recently announced agreement to divest two fine-cut tobacco brands we expect to have restored our strategic and financial flexibility by the end of the year. These are important achievements in our ambition to build a stronger Scandinavian Tobacco Group and deliver tangible value for our shareholders.”
